Buddhism

Buddhism is the doctrine preached by Buddha and its later developments
that hold that suffering is inseparable from existence, but that extinction
of worldly desire and self leads to enlightenment which transcends existence
and suffering. Many sects of Buddhism have evolved that profess many forms
of doctrinal interpretation and observance. In Japan both Zen (meditative)
and Shingon (esoteric) Buddhist sects profoundly affected the development
and teaching of the martial arts (bujitsu) and ways (Budo).
